Following a childhood and youth spent in the spacious England of Edwardian days, he started his career as a tea-planter in Ceylon. This was interrupted by the advent of the First German War in which he spent four years in 'the insalubrious Struma Valley'. Following this War, he became a member of 'The Times' sporting staff, and for thirty years he had been continuously connected with that paper. It was in this capacity that he had been associated with the revival of Polo and of Show Jumping that has been so happy a feature of the post-war world. His concluding chapters tell the inner story of this revival and of the Olympic triumph in which is culminated.
